Rachel, I'm interested in your GOSSETT connections to Muhlenberg County. I am at a brick wall with my husband's great grandfather, Elijah GOSSETT who was born in Robertson Co TN somewhere between 1822 and 1840. He is not the Elijah whose family ended up in Texas. This Elijah was married to Mary Elizabeth CISNEY daughter of Robert A. CISNEY and Nancy J. SULLIVAN who were from Virginia. Our Elijah married in Muhlenberg Co in 1870 and stayed there until his death (sometime before 1924). My husband (who was born in Belton) descends from their son, John William Edward GOSSETT and Willie Alice DUNNING HOWARD. DUNNING was her birth name, HOWARD was her step father's name that she also used. If this fits anywhere in your line, please contact me at jycmthomas@aol.com Thanks to all on this terrific list!
